LEADERSHIP: TRANSLATOR´S POV

Hi dear readers! I´m Fran of the Meerkats´s group and this week I´m the translator of the task. This week we have done a task about the leadership styles. The categories of leadership styles have increased in the postmodern literature. We have done four profiles in fakebook to explain the different kinds of leadership. I have to define five relevant terms of this task. I hope that you can understand better this task with this five terms and you enjoy with our post. These are the five terms:

• Fakebook: Fakebook is a tool to create a fictional or historical character. It´s a tool where you can create a profile with fictional information or real if you want, but it´s using for fictional character generally. In this task we have used fakebook to create four profiles with different kinds of leaders to present in class.

• Authoritarian leaders: This kind of leader use coercive tactics to enfore rules. They are very strict and them attitude with them employed is very serious and distant. The more important characteristic in this kind of leaders is the necessity of the control. Control is the primary management strategy of employed. The most important for them is the productivity and they are not interesting in the emotion or affection of them employees. This kind of leaders is trying to take charge of the schools.

• Participative leaders: It´s a kind of leader in the line of the authoritarian leader but it´s more open. They leads to delegation and communication about every themes relatinship with the work and with the employees. This collaborative process brings a family atmosphere to the workpolace and a good relation between the workers and the boss. This kind of leader is a good way to get a team between the workers.

• Transactional leaders: This kind of leader attempt to balance initiating structure in order to get things done with meeting the needs of people that is near to them. They look for the integration the needs of the employeed to do the work en better conditions.These leaders think that the goals are due to the whole of the worker not only a personal goal, This style of leadership is based in a dual organization. In the school organizations is the predominat model.

• Transformational leaders: This kind of leader is able to the human understanding. The most important characteristic in this kind of leader is the necessity of change. It´s very important the integrity in this leader. Every workers are very important and them work is essential to the goals. The moral leadship is based on dignity,  the respect of the rules and respect of the humans. It´s very important the justice in this leadership. This is a good kind of leaders to aply in the schools. 

These are the five terms that I thing that you must know to understand this task. I hope that you enjoy with our posts of this week and I want you have a nice wekk!. See you soon!
